Pre-purchase analysis

Analyze a storage unit

Start with a supported auction link or add the listing photos yourself.

01

Add the auction

Use the strongest evidence available.

Photos are optimized in your browser for a reliable upload. Original files are not saved in UnitSift's database.

02

Set the real costs

Use the auction's actual terms.

One report covers the full listing. Failed analyses do not use your report allowance.
